Modest projects on Network Rail routes is the better affordable approach than HS2. Design with Engineers and improve the lives of commuters and the residents of Camden. Don’t. Be dismayed Mrs May there are less costly improvements than £200 billion for HS2.

Budget means also to be thifty. HS2 was not an appealing inward investors choice. Too long too large and mainly unaffordable for people on the breadline. Not a clever idea. To be confounded by tourist and visitor spending over December and January by people taking advantage of low exchange rate demonstrates poor analytical skills by OBR and the Chancellor. Wasting £2 Billion on HS2 to date is extreme reckless when other needs are vivid. Call it a day and recognise railways are significant users of foreign parts and low pound means more pounds lost on a folly with your lolly.

No chance when defacto decision on HS2 Noon/Adonis/Hammond followed by Group think of MPs and Peers and MPs and changing mind PM .

The UK needs to address mega programme, debt building projects to offset the extreme bias into unreasonableness that came from Defacto single narrow and flawed objective of HS2 and similar. The democracy and value of decision commitments are very different and tangled functions.

The UK has got wrong the process of this Hybrid Bill by not separating the scrutiny from the delivery commitments. Flawed process. PM needed to correct this flawed approach to HS2.
